"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Would a training timetable like this be detrimental?

I recently started Closs Quarter Combat Training - it's a 'mixed' martial art system which is specifically targeted at practical street self defence.

I'll be doing this 3 times a week.

This centre also has a gym which I signed up for as the payment includes membership for both.

Im a skinny guy with a fast metabolism and plan on starting a bulking program and will be hitting the gym 3 times a week as well.

The only problem is that I have a really hectic timetable - this place is apprx a 45min drive from my place which means that the only time I can actually hit the gym is right before or straight after the Closs Quarter Combat Class.

I know its not ideal - but will the obvious slight fatigue that I will have if I do the CQCC first greatly affect the affectiveness of the workout?

Any suggestions, ideas or advice on anything I could do in this situation?

Who else has to balance a sport/athletic/martial art program with the gym? What do you do?

Thanks in advance.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

It all depends on how long the class is. I'm gonna assume it's over an hour and most of that time is spent active and not watching. Warmng up before a lifting session is important but for that long of course your stamina will take a hit. Look on bodybuilding.com for stuff about doing cardio and lifting in the same day.

It doesn't sound like a good deal having to drive 45 minutes to use a gym but whatever lol.

Thanks for the feedback and the link. That place has so much useful info which is a great help.

The thing is, or from what I have read off of there, it is all about how to go about things in an optimal way, and my timetable obviously isnt.

The main question which I still have is whether having a 1 hour martial arts session before the workout would be detrimental enough to my aim of mass gain that it would justify a restructure to my whole timetable.

As it is now it is pretty full on and would require a lot of (maybe unecessary) effort and sacrifice to do so. I would only do it if responeses show me that doing these prior sessions will really affect my aim of mass gain for a hardgainer.

The gym is part of the martial arts centre, which is the main reason Im going there.
